My last period was on 26 July, and I usually have a 28 day cycle. Today is the 36th day of my cycle, and I still have not gotten my period. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative. Will my period come normally, and what should I do now?

A delay in your period with a negative pregnancy test can happen due to stress, illness, or hormonal fluctuations. Since it is day 36 of your cycle, you can wait for another 5 to 7 days to see if your period starts. If your period does not come, repeat the urine pregnancy test to confirm. If cycles remain irregular, your doctor may check thyroid profile and prolactin levels to find the cause. Maintain hydration and manage stress to support your cycle. A serum BetaHCG test may help confirm the diagnosis of pregnancy and rules out any false negatives.

Is it necessary to take a pregnancy test only with early morning urine? My period is delayed by 20 days, will the result still be accurate if I take the test at night or at any other time of the day?

Question

I had intercourse on 22nd, and during a checkup on 27th, the doctor said that the egg had already ruptured. What are the chances of getting pregnant, and when should I take a pregnancy test?

I had a lower abdomen ultrasound done recently. I am unmarried and worried about pregnancy. My last menstrual period was on 5th January. I am unsure if the sonographer properly examined my uterus. I have attached my report and ultrasound images for your review.
